I enjoy trying to help others to create maps for Shadow Warrior. I understand that the text files are hard to follow, but I really believe that you must give it your best try. Map making is a very long and hard process to learn. I strongly recommend that you go over in great detail the SWBUILD.TXT file to learn the basics of the Build engine. There are some things that are covered in there that I do not cover nor, do I intend on covering. I will always take for granted that you have created the basic map describe in this file and have gone over it. The keyboard commands you should understand what they are for and how to use them.
No, I can not upload the Build Tutorial to you. I did not design it that way. The only way that I will look at your map is if you go through the Map Help procedure. Again, I do not accept finished maps. I do not have the time to go over them for pleasure or anything.
Tutorials are hard to make as far as trying to describe an effect in an orderly way. The more complicated the effect the harder it becomes. Make sure that your question is within your level (Beginner, Novice, Advance) of map making as indicated on the Main Build Tutorial page. Please don't ask me a question like "Where do I find the ST1 sprites needed to make my tank." You won't even get a response from me. Remember, once you reach the Novice level print out the Flags of the Build Editor and keep it close at hand for your bible to super map making.
Double check your email reply address. I get a ton of email from people (mainly aol) who do not have their reply address setup correctly, and I can't write back to an "unknown user address". So, don't blame me if you don't recieve an email back from me.
If you are having a problem with your map then you must go to the Map Help page and follow those instructions. DO NOT send me your maps. That's a sure way to get your future email blocked to babtech.com. I know that you are very proud of all you hard work and time that you put into your map(s), but I don't have the time to look at them.
Yes, you can send me request for furture tutorials that you would like to see. There are no guarantee that I will make it though.
Please, ask a specific one or two question(s). Not, "I don't understand how to make a Room Over Room effect. Can you give me more details how to do it?" Oh sure, like I don't have a life. You must give it your best shot by actually reading every word in the tutorial and trying to create that tutorial from scratch. When you reach a point that you are stuck on that's when you go to the Map Help page and follow the instuctions then contact me about your problem. I have no problem helping people. I just have a problem when it is clear that they are skipping the Beginning and/or Novice levels and asking me questions about an area that they are not ready for yet. True map making is a long and time consuming process, and when you have created a good map the feeling of accomplishment that you get is priceless. Don't be afraid to ask me questions within your skill level.
